Evaluation of Tunis and surroundings

The city that struck me the least was Tunis, a constant chaos, traffic everywhere, confusing and dirty roads, little signage, and a general sense of disorganization.

It is a city that may have to be understood more deeply but at first glance it is not easy to love especially for a tourist who is looking for welcome, order, or simply a little relaxation.

On the other hand, the experience in Hammamet is very different, a decidedly more "tourist" city with a massive presence of resorts and hotels designed for European travelers, here the feeling of security is greater, the roads are more well-kept and everything is more on a human scale.

Hammamet is the kind of place where you can relax without too many worries, enjoy the beach, go on organized excursions and know that you have everything at your fingertips, this is precisely the most widespread travel model in Tunisia: stay in a tourist village + possible excursions.

Moving alone is not recommended, especially in the evening or in more peripheral areas, the reason is simple: Tunisia is still a country with strong cultural and social contrasts, and not everything is accessible or safe for an independent traveler.

Too bad, because the territory really has a lot to offer: wide and not very crowded beaches, crystal clear sea, fascinating desert and archaeological sites of great value, unfortunately all this must be experienced with caution, always accompanied by a guide or by those who know the place well.

One thing that struck me a lot is the relationship with Western culture, in appearance Tunisia is open but as soon as you scratch the surfaces a more conservative reality emerges especially in the way people dress and in the relationships between men and women.

I noticed that on the beach the local women wear long and covering dresses, it is absolutely not common to see a local girl in a costume, let alone topless.

This cultural aspect is interesting to observe but can become limiting if you are used to a freer, carefree holiday, where you live the sea without worries.

For those who love freedom and improvisation, Tunisia can be a bit cramped.

Having said that, the resorts are undoubtedly the strong point, modern facilities often in the Moorish style with swimming pools, private beaches, restaurants, international entertainment and above all very affordable prices, perfect for those who want to have an exotic holiday without spending too much.

In summary? Tunisia is a country that must be chosen consciously.

In my case the experience in Tunisia left an indelible memory, they were about to ARREST ME, I explain everything in the dedicated article.

I had the opportunity to visit Tunisia through an Educational for travel agents, it was a guided trip with a defined itinerary with guided tours and structures to visit, I arrived shortly after the attack on the Bardo Museum, an event that had left the country and the world of tourism with a hold of breath, the atmosphere was tense and there was a certain distrust.
